Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the party in power, almost always loses seats in the midterms. Tarheel_Dem Oct 2020 #32

Typically, yes. But seldom does one party have to defend 22 seats and the other only 12 Tom Rinaldo Oct 2020 #33

Oh, I dunno. The GOP has been poisoned by Trumpism. It's not the same as any election I have CTyankee Oct 2020 #35

We can only hope that the rift between normal Republicans and the Trumpistas widens even more. Tarheel_Dem Oct 2020 #36
